U.S. TV actress Linsey Godfrey is expected to make a full recovery after her legs were broken in a car accident in Los Angeles on Monday (02Feb15). The Bold and the Beautiful star, 26, was crossing a sidewalk when two cars collided at a nearby intersection, sending one vehicle careening into the pavement, mowing her down.
She suffered two broken legs in the incident and is expected to undergo surgery at a later date, but her manager tells Eonline.com Godfrey is doing well.
The representative says, "Linsey is recuperating at the hospital. Her doctors expect a full recovery. She will need treatment on her ankles but things are looking good at this point."
The incident is still under investigation by Los Angeles police.
Meanwhile, Godfrey's pal, fellow actress Kelly Kruger, has assured fans the soap star will be fine.
She tweets, "Hey everyone. @linseygodfrey is going to be okay. She is strongest person I know & has all the Drs (doctors) laughing w (with) her usual hysterical self."

A top official at the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has applauded Beyonce for encouraging fans to go vegan by launching her own plant-based healthy eating programme. The Drunk In Love hitmaker experienced the benefits of a meat and dairy-free diet in 2013, when she and her rapper husband Jay Z temporarily cut out all animal products from their meals, and on Tuesday (03Feb15), she announced she had teamed up with fitness trainer Marco Borges, the brains behind the 22 Days Nutrition plan, to launch a new vegan meal delivery service.
She said of the scheme, "I am so grateful that I took the challenge and credit Marco with leading by example... He came up with a great programme to get people motivated to make better nutritional choices. All you have to do is try. If I can do it, anyone can. I am excited to partner with him."
The animal-friendly eating plan has won Beyonce the support of PETA bosses, who have praised the superstar for urging others to try more vegan foods.
Lisa Lange, Senior Vice President of PETA, tells WENN, "When Beyonce and Jay Z want to look and feel their best, they eat vegan - and Queen Bey has noted that her energy goes through the roof when she sticks to plant-based meals.
"PETA is sure that Beyonce's latest venture will inspire people around the world to explore healthy, humane vegan meals and see how easy it is to look and feel flawless."

The trial of British weatherman Fred Talbot was halted on Tuesday (03Feb15) after the veteran TV star fell over in court and sparked a medical emergency. Talbot, who is fighting 10 charges of indecent assault, slipped over as he was leaving the witness box during an appearance at Minshull Street Crown Court in Manchester, England.
He fell into a table and was knocked unconscious, and he was left bleeding from a nasty gash on his head.
Paramedics were called to the court, and Talbot, 65, was taken to Manchester Royal Infirmary hospital by ambulance for treatment.
After the drama, the judge adjourned the case until Wednesday (04Feb15), telling the court, "Mr Talbot (was) leaving the witness box (when he) missed his footing and banged his head. He was treated to see if he could be patched up with (a) plaster but the paramedics came and they decided because it was a head injury he really ought to have it checked out. So he's gone off to the MRI (Manchester Royal Infirmary) in an ambulance."
Talbot denies 10 counts of indecent assault dating from the 1960s to the 1980s.
The trial continues.

Ted Robbins' wife has launched an appeal to find the doctor who helped the British comedian after he collapsed during a performance of Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights Live in Manchester, England on Saturday (31Jan15). Judy Robbins took to Facebook.com to thank the quick-thinking medic, who was in the audience for the opening night show and stepped in to help after Robbins was taken sick.
She attributed the collapse to the star's long-running heart problems, and urged the doctor to get in touch, writing, "With Ted now in the hospital. He is in some pain due to bruising on his ribs from chest compressions but other than that he is doing well... We are so incredibly grateful for everyone's support and we would love more than anything to find out who the doctor was out of the audience who (gave him) such fantastic treatment."
Robbins, 59, reprised his character Den Perry for the Phoenix Nights stage show, which is based on Kay's popular U.K. TV show of the same name.

Seventies pop star David Cassidy has completed his court-ordered alcohol treatment program stemming from his drink-driving arrest last year (14). The singer/actor was detained by police last summer (14) on suspicion of being intoxicated behind the wheel, and he has now finished the nine-month court-ordered alcohol education program which was part of his plea deal with prosecutors.
A judge in Los Angeles also signed off on Cassidy's 90-day stint in a rehab clinic, which he completed in 2014.
Editors at TMZ.com report the 64-year-old star was not in court for the progress hearing because he is currently away on tour.
Cassidy still has 50 months of probation left as part of his sentence for driving while intoxicated (DWI).

The estate Michael Jackson abandoned at the height of his child abuse legal battle just over a decade ago is to be turned into a rehab facility for sex addicts, if a California businessman gets his way. The Neverland Ranch was once a place of great joy as the King of Pop entertained fans and himself with a fairground and petting zoo, but Jackson walked away from the place after police looking for evidence to convict him raided the estate.
The $75 million (GBP50 million) property in Santa Barbara County, California has been shuttered up for the past 10 years, but now there are big plans for Jackson's former home.
One proposal for the property includes turning Neverland into a therapy camp for molested children.
Sources tell the New York Post that the unnamed businessman behind the bid is hoping to use the estate as a "serene setting" for children recovering from the trauma of sex abuse.
The insider tells the publication, "The plan is to have children come there for treatment, and they will also hire trained therapists who would help the victims through the use of equine-assisted therapy, which works to improve the kids’ self-esteem, and it helps them to become more outgoing.”
Ironically, Jackson was accused multiple times of luring kids to Neverland to molest them, although the charges never stuck and the King of Pop was acquitted in his trial a decade ago.
Real estate investor Thomas Barrack seized control of Neverland from the debt-ridden singer in 2008, the year before the pop superstar died, aged 50.

Benedict Cumberbatch is leading a campaign urging the U.K. Government to pardon thousands of gay men who were convicted of gross indecency. British codebreaker Alan Turing helped the Allies to victory in World War II by cracking the German Enigma code, but years later he was prosecuted and convicted of gross indecency for being a homosexual. He was posthumously pardoned for the crime by Queen Elizabeth II in 2013.
Cumberbatch became angered by the treatment of Turing during his research for his role as Turing in The Imitation Game, about the wartime codebreakers, and is now leading a campaign for all gay men to receive a pardon like Turing.
In a open letter, published as an advertisement in Britain's The Guardian newspaper, Cumberbatch and co-signatories, including Stephen Fry and The Imitation Game director Morten Tyldum, ask for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to join their cause and pressure the government to make the change.
The letter reads, "The apology and pardon of Alan Turing are to be welcomed but ignores over 49,000 men who were convicted under the same law, many of whom took their own lives. An estimated 15,000 men are believed to still be alive... The U.K.'s homophobic laws made the lives of generations of gay and bisexual men intolerable. It is up to young leaders of today including the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to acknowledge this mark on our history and not allow it to stand.
"We call upon Her Majesty's Government to begin a discussion about the possibility of a pardoning of all men, alive or deceased, who like Alan Turing, were convicted..."
The full-page advert ends with a link to an online petition, which has been signed by more than 74,000 people.

Michael Jackson's mother has lost the battle to take her negligence case against the promoters of her son's This Is It concerts back to court. A three-judge California state appeals court panel refused to reverse a jury's decision that cleared concert bosses at AEG Live of any wrongdoing in the pop star's 2009 death on Friday (30Jan15).
The lawmakers ruled Katherine Jackson and her grandchildren had no standing for a new trial after their attorneys argued last week (ends23Jan15) that AEG Live was liable for Jackson's treatment in the weeks leading up to his death, as he rehearsed for the This Is It concerts.
The original five-month trial ended in 2013, when jury members cleared AEG Live executives of negligently hiring cardiologist Conrad Murray as Jackson's personal physician. Murray was found guilty of administering the sleep-aid drug that cost the King of Pop his life and he was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in 2011.

Synopsis

Dr. Paul Weston appears to be a successful psychotherapist and family man, but in reality both his professional and personal life are falling apart as he faces a midlife crisis. Increasingly drawn into the dilemmas of his patients, Paul finds himself seeking help from his retired former therapist, Gina, whom he hasn't seen in 8 years. Every episode revolves around a therapy session with one of his five patients, returning on a weekly basis, or his own sessions with Dr. Gina Toll. In Season 2, the newly divorced Dr. Weston has relocated from Maryland to Brooklyn, and now runs his therapy practice out of the living room of his brownstone. Among his new patients are: Mia, an attorney and former patient of Paul's, who becomes his patient again after he asks her firm to defend him in a lawsuit; Oliver, an 11-year-old who manifests the stress of his parents' divorce by over-eating; Walter, a CEO who, when confronted by professional scandal and personal loss, finds his lifelong defenses are no longer holding; and April, a 23-year-old architecture student who has been diagnosed with cancer, but is refusing to seek treatment or tell her parents. Each Friday, Paul takes the train to Maryland to resume his own therapy sessions with Dr. Toll.In Season 3, Dr. Weston meets with three new patients and begins sessions with Adele, a therapist whose qualifications he questions but later emerges as an object of significant affection.
